Balionycteris seimundi is a species of megabat found in Malaysia.

Taxonomy

Balionycteris seimundi was described in 1921 by C. Boden Kloss. He noted it as a subspecies of spotted-winged fruit bat, with a scientific name of Balionycteris maculata seimundi. The holotype had been collected by Eibert Seimund, who became the epithet for the name seimundi. Seimmund had collected the holotype in Pahang, Malaysia.[1] Later genetic studies showed that there was a larger-than-expected genetic distance of 12% between B. m. seimundi and B. m. maculata, which was used to justify its elevation to a full species.[2][3][4]

Description

Balionycteris seimundi is a small megabat, weighing only Шаблон:Cvt. It has a forearm length of Шаблон:Cvt. Its fur is blackish brown on its back and somewhat paler on its underside.[5]

Range and habitat

Balionycteris seimundi is widely distributed in Peninsular Malaysia. Its range likely includes other countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Indonesia (Sumatra and the Riau Archipelago).[2] They roost in small groups in palm trees, termite nests, epiphytic ferns, and, occasionally, caves.[5] Its habitat includes lowland rainforests at elevations from sea level to Шаблон:Cvt above sea level.[2]
